It is also highlighted in the reference to the theme of theeaten heart in Boccaccio’s Decameron and to Shakespeare’s TitusAndronicus. In the tempting world of advertisements and commercials,women are objectified and traded and their roles are diminished. In thisrealm, Marian, the protagonist, is in search of her identity but first tries to‘adjust’ to society’s artificial and delusional narrative. The advertisementsdictate a behaviour, objectify her body and force her to comply withpreformed roles. She consciously tries to defend herself from thisconsumerist mentality by allowing her body to ‘speak’ for her. Her bodystarts to refuse food and she feels it is alive, until it cuts itself off. Therefore,showing how she refuses to ‘adjust’ to the consumerist society. Thenarrative points out the inherent cannibalistic quality of the consumeristsociety in which human beings are commodities and their roles are dictatedby commercials and the ferocious rules of profit.
